Assessing the opponent, coach Mai Duc Chung said: "This match is a very big challenge for the Vietnamese women's team when we have to face the Japanese team - a team with top level in Asia as well as the world. This is the last match of the group stage, so the whole team will try with the highest determination, even knowing that the opponent is very strong.
We have met Japan many times and know that they always play very seriously in every match. Therefore, the whole team has prepared tactics to be able to play best against this opponent".
